Comparing two ways to give the R21 malaria vaccine in Chad
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests two ways of giving the R21 malaria vaccine to children in Chad during the rainy season. One way follows the routine vaccination schedule, and the other gives the vaccine at the same time as seasonal malaria prevention medication.
